Fukunaga French Toast

Many of the recipes that have become favorites come from Sunset.  This one is from their Breakfast and Brunch Cookbook. It’s a splurge of calories, but once in awhile, go for it!  Serve with sausage and syrup.

1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced 1” thick

½ C flour                                  6 eggs

2 Tbsp sugar                            1 ½ C milk

½ tsp cinnamon                         salad oil for cooking

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

            Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl or 9 x 13” pan.  In another bowl, beat eggs and mix in milk.  Whisk into dry ingredients.  Add bread slices and soak until completely saturated.

            In a wide frying pan over medium low heat, add about ¼ inch of oil. When oil is hot, add a few slices at a time.  Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until browned and slightly puffy; turn and brown other side. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.  Repeat until all slices have been cooked.
